<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2337313, member: 2844&quot;]Nice find in an important location, it could be from a similar lamp.</p><p>But unlikely to be the lamp in &#039;The Potato Eaters&#039;, since they didn&#039;t live with van Gogh. They were the de Groot family, so you will have to dig near where they lived, on the Gerwenseweg just outside Nuenen.</p><p>Van Gogh&#039;s friend Willem van de Wakker mentioned the occasion and the lamp in the de Groot family cottage in his memoirs, so the lamp in the painting is likely their own lamp.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.vangoghroute.com/the-netherlands/nuenen/family-de-groot/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.vangoghroute.com/the-netherlands/nuenen/family-de-groot/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vangoghroute.com/the-netherlands/nuenen/family-de-groot/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Judging from the map, the de Groot cottage was just past &#039;de Roosdonck&#039;, the windmill on the Gerwenseweg, which was built around the same time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
